SHELBY COUNTY, Tenn. — The Shelby County Health Department is investigating COVID-19 infections at eight long-term care facilities, and three new deaths were reported at one facility Friday.

Three deaths were reported at The Village at Germantown, a retirement community on Poplar.

The Village at Germantown said in a statement from a spokesperson that two of the three people died in the hospital. All had been in and out of hospitals or other healthcare facilities in recent weeks or had serious underlying health conditions.

Two other positive-testing residents remain hospitalized and four employees who have tested positive are off their jobs and in isolation at their homes, the spokesperson said.
